Prison Break

[Goth Power]

Anyone seen this? I personally think its a bit shite really..

Discuss...

[woosaah]

i liked it, i really did. i just finished watching the season and now hanging out for season 2.

just my 2 cents

[umosay]

I loved it... season 2 starts aug 21, can't wait. Why was it shite Goth? I could watch the whole season again no hesitation - that's whats good about having it on your PC :P

[Candyman]

I am really enjoying it also but the only problem is the new season of THE SOPRANOS starts on wednesday night at the same time as prison break and i love that programme :bravo: :cheers:

[Serge]

Weird reason to start a thread?

I love this show, it's so intense. That doctor is pretty peow also. How has all the New Zealanders already seen the first series?

[woosaah]

we are magic :)

i agree with that.

i have noticed that this season of Lost has become a bit stupid with the whole room and pressing the button so i only watched the first 3 episodes but with prison break, i have only watched one episode and im really pissed off that i havent watched anymore of it.

i dont know why i like it so much after only one episode but it is way better than this season of Lost

[umosay]

It's right at your fingertips... just DL it

[woosaah]

now i bet someone is going to ask you how to do that O.o :P

[MonoTurd]

the broadband thing we are on is the xtra one where you get 1GB a month of full speed and the rest of the month its pretty much dial up.

the 1GB is usually gone within the first week because me and my sister use it all the time

and yes ive been told many-a-time to change but its my mum whos paying for it and she doesnt want to change

and the point of my post is that i dont have a good enough speed to "get" the series.

"The less you know the better"

:P

[Serge]

So when you say the second series starts this month, we are talking America?

I find it more exciting to watch it week by week rather than d/l them and reel them all off at a time.

[umosay]

Yeah America... I'll be watching season 2 week by week, better to watch it without ads and catch up than waiting another 15 odd weeks for it to finish in NZ. It's very addictive if you have them all at your disposal, you can't really help but watch them

[woosaah]

i find that to umosay. i am currently watching season 5 of smallville,

i have the first 4 series on dvd and was waiting for this, but i just couldnt wait. still getting season 5 on dvd though. then gonna wait for season 6 to start late september :)

Helps when you know someone who has the entire 1st series Mono... ;)

Glad to hear there are fellow fans that keep up with the states too, definitely watching this series week by week as soon as we can get the ep's :D

I guess I just don&#39;t find any interest ina guy breaking into prison with a shite looking tattoo in the mood to break his brother out..

And oh boy, the wonder of *REMOVED*..:P

[umosay]

It&#39;s the intrigue of what happens along the way :P

The rest of the world also can&#39;t find any interest in pasty faced White Boys from Iowa screaming like bitches.

Prison Break is awesome, but it&#39;s no 24.

[esoj]

thank god 24 sucks now imo. 24 went downhill after season 2.

prison break is awesome. watching it on nz tv at the moment each week very good show.

[Ripper]

Whats so good about 24 "sucking" (Which it doesn&#39;t)?

[umosay]

2 Weeks till season 2 w00t

[dobrien7]

C&#39;mon Season 2 Prison Break :cheers:

24 is like lost. there is only so much that can be done before it becomes boring and that happened to 24 after 2 seasons.

prison break could end up going the same way but I think they will end it before they start to bore the auidence.

Because she happens to be sucking for a full 24 hours. Kinda obvious.

Still doesn&#39;t explain why your happy about it sucking.

And from memory the creators are saying Prison Break is only going to be 2 seasons.

Supposedly they are making 3... but the cast and stuff will be a lot different.

[Ripper]

Strange... what are they going to do... bust the Son out?

Just watched first two eps of Season 2 Prison Break - and it&#39;s great!!! :cheers: :bravo:

[getofmeland]

Ahh cool, I will try to watch them when I am not busy with the board...

The first series was Brilliant, So I am hoping the second one will be as good...

Yeah, i&#39;ve watched them too - pretty good but it should get better as the season progresses... thank god for *REMOVED* :P

[Serge]

I ended up cheating and getting the first series off a mate. The action is so intense. So many twists and so much stuff goes wrong. Loving it.

[dobrien7]

Makes you want to watch the whole series one after another doesn&#39;t it? Don&#39;t know if I can wait a week between each ep for season 2 - don&#39;t have much choice though do I :P

[Serge]

First night I got the first series, I watched from 9pm - 2:30am. I had planned to stop at 12, but there would always be a cliffhanger at the end and I just had to keep watching.

It&#39;s not cheating, its catching up :)

I&#39;m getting ep3 now..

[Goth Power]

I mean, how can a programme NOT get old and boring?

Even Only Fools & Horses got drawn out with the new episodes. It was like a total lack of respect for their own genious creation.

PB doesn&#39;t get my blood pumping, same as Lost and not to mention 24...the ad&#39;s for it are bad enough.

Everyone has their own tastes but there has to be a point where the end is made but on more occasions than not...its drawn out and given the show a bad name.

[esoj]

well I am watching season 1 ep by ep each wednesday on tv3 and it&#39;s getting quite good now. next week looks very interesting and a definte change in the way the story goes from now on.

[dobrien7]

Can easily say IMO there isn&#39;t a bad ep in the whole 1st series, and series 2 so far as well :)

Agree... ep3 was awesome eh?

[Gay-Guy]

Very hard to make an awesome drama/action series. You have to have a continual story where the regular viewers feel they are going somewhere eventually, characters that make you want to see them all the time.....dialogue that keeps you intrigued...a good plot for every episode....

....but most important of all, a good series needs to have every episode set out in a structured way where anyone who has missed episodes or anyone who is watching for the first time can immediately identify with what is going on and join on the train ride.

Prison Break, Lost, and to some degree even 24 do not cater for the casual or late joining viewer. If you are not intently involved you can quickly switch off. This is in stark contrast to other past programmes such as the various Star Trek series, all the CSI series, and many Lawyer/Police/Detective series where even a new person to the show can quickly get the gist of what the plot of each episode is about and which characters relate to which and in what way.

Probably due to there being a new/different case etc each episode, a separate story each week (where it&#39;s mainly just the characters that develop week to week), whereas those 3 programmes are specifically one storyline that grows and develops, in a way you get rewarded for watching all the way through.

Is a shame for those that miss it in the beginning (ie me with 24) but then that&#39;s where the beauty of DVDs and the internet come in...

Watch number 3, was by far the best so far IMO (of season 2 that is)

[getofmeland]

Just watched 3, just about to download 4... and agree 3 was bloody good..

Than don&#39;t watch it and stop bitching.

Just watched Episode 4 and that was better than episode 3, so the trend is looking good at the mo...

Whats up? Don&#39;t like being proven wrong?

[Ripper]

And i&#39;ve been proven wrong how? Because some wrist cutter tells me its bad, than it must be?

[Serge]

He does have a good point that its not good for the casaul watcher. As you do need to see it from the start ish. Although if it doesn&#39;t get your blood pumping you must be a reptile. Most episodes have been so intense and exciting.

It hasn&#39;t been drawn out at all yet. As if everything would go to plan, makes it more realistic. The only thing that seems lame is that Scofield has a backup plan already set for almost everything.

I&#39;m getting Ep 5 now. :D

[getofmeland]

but at the end of the day some programs suit some people and others for others, so really a matter of personal choice...

I love it to tell you the truth but I got hooked to 24 and then someone mentioned prison break and was hooked to that...

Never got into lost...

[Ripper]

Neither did I... Is it true that it invovles Aliens... thats the impression I got from one of the ads.

And apparently Haywires back for Episode 6 of Prison Break... and of course Schofeild has a backup plan, not much point of doing what their doing if you don&#39;t plan ahead.

[umosay]

I&#39;m getting Ep 5 now. :D

Sure have. And it&#39;s good to be there. ;)

Ep 5 was solid, not great though.

Is there like spoiler tags or something that we can put around text so we can talk about the episodes?

[umosay]

make the text white :P

your right ep5 was solid but not the best... next week looks good though!

next week looks good though!

[Ripper]

The first step to recovery is acknowledgement.

Moving on - What day does Prison Break screen in Yankeeland?

[getofmeland]

Monday nights I believe

[Goth Power]

I&#39;m not going to argue with you I&#39;m just gonna say...shut up because you don&#39;t know me..

[dobrien7]

Ignoring previous crap...

Anyone seen S2E17... what&#39;s on the freaking tape!!!

[getofmeland]

Nope not that far ahead :(

[dobrien7]

Psst... we know in generalised terms what it is per say, just curious to the specifics :P (Trying not to give anything away)

Went to the PB site, and they have a wee blurb of each ep, kind of ruined it for myself for what happens in next couple of eps. Must not do that again...

[DC]

yea its mondays, that shows so ridiculous already though

[fcukernaut]

yea its mondays, that shows so ridiculous already though
[/b]

Yeah it&#39;s just rediculously drawn out now, they didn&#39;t need to go into this new season, they really didn&#39;t.
